Eight photographic structures are necessary for taking pictures?

Photography must learn 8 composition methods.

First, the middle composition method

Specific shooting points: the central composition is to put the characters in the middle of the picture when shooting, so that the focus of shooting falls in the center of the picture, as shown in the left picture. The central composition extends the symmetrical composition method, but they are not the same, which will be introduced in detail later.

Advantages of the central composition method: the central composition method simply and directly places the subject in the center of the picture, which can highlight the subject well and catch people's eyes. Moreover, this composition method is simple to shoot and has a wide range of application, which is often used in daily shooting.

How to use it in actual shooting?

1. Center composition method is more suitable for shooting a single subject, which can play a very good role in highlighting.

2. Pay attention to avoid choosing messy background when shooting. You can blur the background with a large aperture or a long focal length, so that the subject can jump out of the background and emphasize the theme.

Second, the symmetrical composition method

Specific shooting points: Symmetric composition method is an extension of central composition method, which allows the subject to form a symmetrical relationship in the picture, which can be up-down symmetry, left-right symmetry or diagonal symmetry, and is not limited to form.

Advantages of symmetrical composition method: symmetrical composition method has the characteristics of balance, stability and echo. The picture taken by this composition method is even and harmonious, and the whole will have a solemn and grand aesthetic feeling.

How to use it in actual shooting?

1. There is no limit to the number of individuals that can be photographed by the symmetrical composition method. You can shoot a single person or two or more people.

2. It is suitable for shooting scenes of "empty scenery and big things" such as buildings and landscapes, which can make the whole picture more imposing.

Third, diagonal composition method

Specific shooting points: diagonal composition method is to create an obvious diagonal effect in the picture, which can directly put the subject on the diagonal, or put the subject in a corner of the picture to create an obvious diagonal effect through picture comparison.

Advantages of diagonal composition method: diagonal composition belongs to a kind of guide line composition, so it also emphasizes the subject with the help of visual guidance effect of guide line. In addition, diagonal composition creates diagonal lines in the picture, which also enhances the sense of lines and three-dimensional sense.

How to use it in actual shooting?

Diagonal composition is very important is the choice of diagonal, in which:

1. The diagonal form is not limited, and it can be a straight line or a curve, which is roughly the diagonal direction.

2. There are two main positions: the diagonal and the corner of the picture.

Three-fourths composition method

Specific shooting points: Triangular composition is to divide the picture into nine squares with two horizontal lines and two vertical lines, so it is also called "Jiugongge composition method". When shooting, put the subject of the character on the four bisectors or four intersections of the picture.

Advantages of the three-point composition method: the three-point composition adopts the golden ratio, so the proportion of the pictures taken will be very harmonious and vivid, without a sense of rigidity. It is the most commonly used composition method for photographers.

How to use it in actual shooting?

1. When shooting portraits with three-point composition method, try to occupy the next two frames of the picture, and the proportion and center of gravity will be more coordinated.

2. When taking portraits, you can also put your eyes on the intersection, which will make the finishing touch and make the picture more flexible.

Five, the picture composition method

Specific shooting points: framing and composition method is to consciously frame the shooting object with a "frame" during shooting, thus playing a prominent role. There is no limit to the "frame" in the frame composition method, which can be a physical frame or a light frame.

Advantages of frame composition method: Frame composition method frames the main body with a frame, which can play a prominent role in the main body. In addition, the addition of the border can give the picture a sense of depth from the outside to the inside, making the whole more layered.

How to use it in actual shooting?

1. Frame composition method The prospect of frame composition method is generally real scene, which can be assisted by door frames and window frames.

2. Foreground composition method The foreground of foreground composition method is generally a virtual scene, and any object can be used.

Six, guide line composition method

Specific shooting points: the guide line composition method is to put the main body of the character on the convergence point of the guide line and make use of the visual convergence effect of the guide line. (generally perspective principle), focus the viewer's attention on the subject, thus highlighting the subject.

Advantages of the guide line composition method: the guide line composition method is to create a convergence effect of the guide line in the picture, and then guide the viewer to focus on the subject, which can highlight the subject well. In addition, the addition of guide lines can also increase the interest and richness of the picture.

How to use it in actual shooting?

The composition of the guide line is very important, and it is equally important to pay attention to:

1. When selecting the guide line, you can consider the perspective principle and make good use of the surrounding environment.

2. The common guiding lines in our daily shooting are: roads and their extension lines (trees, horse lanes and zebra crossings on both sides of the roads, etc.). ), railings and corridors.

Seven, blank composition method

Specific shooting points: the blank composition method is to "blank" the whole picture in a large area. But the blank space here not only refers to the filling of solid background, but also can be a simple environment, such as sky, grass, sea and so on.

Advantages of the blank composition method: The blank composition method borrows the concept of blank in China's paintings and calligraphy, and consciously leaves the picture blank when taking pictures, which can well create the atmosphere and artistic conception of the picture.

How to use it in actual shooting?

1. Leave blank in one direction as far as possible. As shown in the figure below, if the character faces the right, then you can leave a blank on the right.

2. Try to shoot a single theme. If there are multiple subjects, you need to pay attention to the layout of the screen.

Eight, foreground composition method

Specific shooting points: the foreground composition method is to consciously add a foreground in front of the subject before shooting, and focus on the subject when shooting. Blur the foreground with a large aperture, (virtual scene), and highlight the subject through the contrast between reality and reality.

Advantages of foreground composition method: foreground composition method only adds a vague foreground to each picture, so it can produce a sense of depth and enhance the layering and richness of the whole picture.

How to use it in actual shooting?

1. The form of foreground is not limited, and people, things, flowers and animals can do it.

2. You can use a large aperture/long focal length. We need to blur the foreground when shooting, so we can use the effect of small depth of field and large aperture/long focal length.
